just put like a 1 inch gear on the turbo and a 6 inch gear on the alternater it's about a 36 to 1 gearing i think, if i did the math right so then thats about 2777 rpm on the alternater and at that gearing it should have quit a bit of torque, don't you think??? and you only need to have about a 16 to 1 gear reduction if the turbo hits 100000 rpm and make sure it doesn't take to much power from the engine from to much back pressure(at 36 to 1 gearing you could have it to where 4 pounds of exhaust pressure equals 144 pounds of torque on the alternater then a gain i could be wrong??? anyone???)
